Second-line drug resistance markers as proxy indicators of time to sputum culture conversion among second-line drug resistant tuberculosis patients tested in Uganda: A cross-sectional study

2023-01-16

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Increased tuberculosis disease burden arises as a result of low treatment success rates stemming from the emergence of second-line drug resistance. We aimed at determining the usefulness of second-line drug (SLD) resistance markers as proxy indicators of time to sputum culture conversion; a renowned predictor of Tuberculosis treatment outcome, among SLD-resistant tuberculosis (TB) patients te...
